My Most Popular Projects for 2011

As the year winds down, it’s time to reflect on what I have accomplished and start to think about my plans for next year. For me, as a blogger, a part of that process is looking over the posts that were the most popular this year. These are the posts that you my readers liked the most so they give me an idea of what to plan for future posts. Sooo…in no particular order…here are my top five posts! Just click on the highlighted phrases to be taken to the posts. Among them was my Pottery Barn inspired pillow…a really fun project where I experimented in making fabric flowers.

Another reader favorite was my Country Living inspired découpage pumpkins. And…I am pleased to say that Country Living liked them too and asked to feature them in the Letters section in their December 2011 issue! Hey…the photo was the size of a postage stamp, but I was still thrilled! lol

And last but not least among the top five was the Mickey Mouse birthday wreath that I made for my little grandson’s first birthday party which had…you guessed it…a Mickey Mouse theme! Now we are wondering what to plan for his second birthday party! Can time have gone by that quickly?

Not among the top five, but one of my favorite posts was thevintage French tea towels that I made using iron-on transfers for the first time! Love them!

And another favorite of mine was thepost featuring myWisteria knock-off linen hand towels. I think this is the post that put me over the edge as a big fat copy cat! lol It’s so much fun to see how cheaply I can reproduce something I have seen in a pricey catalog!

But here is my absolute favorite! And although you might argue that it was not a project, I will tell you that more time and planning went into this trip than any other project. I invite you to read the series of posts about my trip to Paris with my grandson…lovingly anticipated for five years! It was absolutely perfect in every way and the most fun I have ever had in my entire life! If you have plans for a trip to Paris, you will find some good tips here. I am so happy to have the posts as a wonderful reminder of that week in France with my ten-year-old grandson! Sooo... there they are...my top five posts plus a few favorites of mine! And now...is there anything you want to see in 2012?

You've had a great year! I read a lot of blogs and hadn't really put it together that you had done all these great projects, including the trip to Paris. Thanks for sharing all these fun things with us - I love the pumpkins the best.

Debbie, All your projects are so creative and beautiful, but the "project" that I appreciate the most is the one when you taught me how to blog. I'm forever grateful for your gifts of time, patience and most of all, your friendship. Thank you so much! Hugs,BabsPS. Of course, I love the French tea towels, too. :)

I love to see what your readers enjoyed the most...that's fun! I love and admire all your projects and look forward to 2012! I loved the posts about your Paris trip with your Grandson...I think those were my favorites since Paris is on my bucket list! Hugs, Linda

Debbie, I'm in awe of you and all the creative projects that you accomplish. My favorite would have to be the Paris trip travel log though. I do know how much time and effort went into this memorable trip for the two of you. I also realize the joy of anticipation that each of you experienced! Look forward to 2012 with Debbie and all her new creative endeavors. ;-)Happy New Year! ~ Sarah

All of your projects were amazing and wonderful but I think I missed the one with the chalkboard wine glasses. Wow...I have to try this! And that's the best part of seeing projects from this year at all the blogs! Ideas galore! Thanks, Debbie!

Well you definitely had a busy year! I think I missed the chalk wine glasses, what a great idea! Can't wait to see what you have planned for us in 2012 and again congrats on your being featured in Country Living! I was just as thrilled for you as you were...lol.

I love that Christmas wreath! And your CL pumpkins turned out beautifully--they look just like the pictures in the magazine! How awesome, too, to have gone to Paris with your grandson. He'll always remember that time with you!

I saw your pumpkins in Counrty Living and instantly knew they were yours...I was so excited for you!! I still think your pumpkins are better than theirs! All of your projects are beautiful, I love the monogram pillow! All the best to you in 2012!

I remember alot of these and loved them too. I say your pic in the Country Living. Great to be features, no matter how small. lol! Paris, wow maybe someday I'll get there. Have been to Austria, Germany, Prague, but have not made it to Paris yet. Looking forward to seeing what's up with you for 2012.

Love your projects! The pumpkins & the pillow are definitely my favorites. I would love you to share this at The Corson Cottage for our last {Home for the Holidays} link party of the season going on now. Carrie

All of your projects are truly wonderful Debbie! I was rereading my Country Living magazine the other night and saw your pumpkins in the Letters section and said out loud, "Hey, that's Debbies pumpkins!" It cracks my hubby up because he said, "You would think she was someone you knew". I told him I did! Blogging friends are like a big Sisterhood and we are always excited and proud to see one of us recongized! Thank you for being part of TTF and I hope you and your family have a very blessed 2012!

Debbie,I think I am with you! It would be hard to top going to Paris with your grandchild. Wonderful photo of Notre Dame. Your projects are always great! Thank you for joining me at Home Sweet Home!Sherry
